There are still some stuff that’s missing from the 3D-model, lights, switches and the ramp to name a few. In retrospect I think that I maybe should have made it a bit wider, because I feel that some of the spaces on the top are too small compared to the game. the upkicker on the right (not the ball-laucher), because the width on the playfield that I settled on was to small to fit everything at the bottom (It’s 1110 x 534mm). With these things in mind I started making the 3D model. I also designed the board assuming the pinball in the game was the same size as a standard pinball. I also searched a bit around to find out what size the playfield usually was. The only real thing I knew for sure was the 4 pop-bumpers in the top, so I stared with them and found some 3D-models at Google Warehouse. When I created the 3D-model I didn’t have lots of sizes to compare with. One thing that helped a bit was that I was able to find the game with a higher resolution than the game that is bundled with Windows.Īnyways, here is what my reference has been all along: Ironically the only material from 3D space cadet is the 2D-board from the game. I started the project by making a 3D-model in Google SketchUp. The picture on the right is the nearest I have found to the real thing.Īfter seeing that Ben Heck and Jeri Ellsworth had made their own pinball-machines it struck me that if someone else can make a pinball-machine, then why can’t I? 3D model And every once in a while I would search Google to find if anyone has made a real one yet. Over the years I’ve tried a few pinball-machines and I remember every time I saw one. I always thought that it would be awesome to have a real playable version of it, but it never really struck my mind that I could build one myself. As the title says, it’s better to post this a little late, than never! How it startedģD Space cadet itself is embedded into my childhood, It’s one of the games I played a lot when I was still learning a lot about computers. I’ll try to document some of the progress I have already done in this post. I still haven’t found anyone else making this game in real life yet, so please tell me if something like that exists! It would be interesting to see! Water St.I’ve been working on this project for about 5 months now, and now I think this project is far too large to go totally undocumented, so I’m starting a work log to share what I’m doing!Įasier said than done I’m making a real life version of 3D Space Cadet, the pinball game developed by Maxis and Cinematronics which was bundled with Windows for some versions.
